I don't think that I have ever spent so much time on a single house tour! I love this tour so much. This is a home that exudes warmth and happiness. The captions were terrific; I wish that every tour would include them. And, I couldn't appreciate more the detailed sourcing. I've bookmarked every one. I will definitely be ordering the print that you used in your bathroom. It is perfect! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home and providing so much inspiration!

Thanks for the repost AT; somehow I missed this one. To me, this post truly represents the spirit of AT. Sure, it is great to drool over 2600 square feet of high-end eye candy. But, to see what creative and clever people can do to create a space filled with warmth and heart, is an inspiration for us all. I see those adorable little kids growing up with dreams of long and lazy summers romping with their dog. I love everything about the space and the owners "can do" attitude. And, I especially appreciate the warmth and humor or the original post and the owner's willingness to patiently answer questions. Amazing.

Oh, this post was so wonderful; it always helps to know that one will find roommates at the mental hospital! I grew up in central FL. My father was super cheap-o and freaked out over running the AC. So, I had a childhood that conditioned me to the lovely sound of a whirring fan as I dropped off to sleep. This has presented me with many a sleepless night when traveling; every sound is amplified. Eeeek. I have a very old version of the soundmate (tucked into a suitcase somewhere...). But, its size and eerily bomb-like shape pretty much guaranteed a baggage search. The thought of random, anonymous TSA guys pawing through my undies ended the sleepmate's travels.

I once tried a Sound Spa. The heartbeat totally made me re-live a very scary version of Bill Cosby's "The Chicken Heart... bah bum, ba bum". And the waterfall and rain options had me running for the bathroom all night!

I still sleep with a running fan (lovely metal Hunter reproduction of the fans I grew up with) in warmer months... but struggle through the colder ones. Perhaps I will try some of the options available for my iPod or droid. GREAT post! Especially knowing that I'll be able to find a roomie who has to have white noise when I end up in the loony bin!
